Use buffered file reader and writer and the String methods. You can find further info on both of those by searching for tutorials and using the appropriate API pages. You may also have info in your textbook and class notes or lectures that you can refer to. It should not be the first time you are seeing these topics, and if it is, then there's something wrong that we can't fix.
